Reddit Secret Santa delivers top-notch Christmas trolling

Subscribers to Reddit’s r/secretsanta section might expect gag gifts, well-wishes, or even a Macbook Air. Redditor brocklese, on the other hand, received something far more unexpected.

Subscribers to Reddit’s r/secretsanta subreddit are used to receiving many things in time for Christmas: gag gifts, well-wishes, a Macbook Air, etc. Redditor brocklese, on the other hand, received something far more unexpected from his Secret Santa: a Yuletide trolling.

His fellow redditors offered their condolences and shared his shock. Then, what to brocklese’s wondering eyes should appear but none other than his Secret Santa (minus the miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer).

“First, I apologize for the homophobic slur. I was just “playing the part”, so to speak,” the note began. Secret Santa/solidus-flux explained that brocklese’s real gift was still in production and that it should arrive in time for Christmas.

“What a great gift that we will enjoy for years to come!” brocklese wrote at the end of the Imgur album detailing the journey. “First thing I had to do was fill two with my own brewed beer. SS you really overdid yourself this year! CHEERS and Merry Christmas!!”

This holiday season, one redditor certainly has a lot to be thankful for.
On Dec. 6, ProZacDose wrote a post on r/offmychest, a subreddit that encourages users to rant, vent, and commiserate over life’s frustrations. Titled “As a father of 4, I have failed,” the story detailed a myriad of setbacks that had plagued his family throughout the year.
